RESOURCE FOR SINGERS: Understanding Resonance

I'm Corinne Bach, voice teacher and founder of Bach School of Voice. Here's a vocal concept every singer should understand.

Your vocal folds create the initial sound, but they don't create your full singing tone by themselves.

Air pressure causes the folds to open and close rapidly. That creates a raw, buzzy sound.

Then your throat, mouth, and nasal passages shape and amplify that sound.

That's resonance.

It's a big reason two singers can sing the same note and sound completely different.

It's also why having healthy vocal folds isn't the whole picture. If you're not using your resonating spaces well, your voice can still sound small or thin.

When you work on resonance, you're learning how to use more of the instrument you already have.
